Composition Workshop

You have mastered techniques and are proficient with your preferred media, but are you satisfied with the art you create? Does your finished work communicate your vision?   We can all improve our composition to enhance our work and make it more successful.  

We all want to dive in and create our work.  However, without adequate planning, our creations generally are not as effective as they could be. By improving our compositions, we make our work more effective in communicating our vision and focusing our viewer.

Composition includes the layout of our image, as well as design elements such as unity, contrast, repetition, movement, shapes, value, color and edges.  

In the workshop, Kathy and the attendees will work through composition exercises. Attendees will use their own reference images and still life materials on hand to develop enhanced compositions.  Attendees will not need to acquire new supplies, as they will be using their preferred media.  We will explore digital applications that help us examine our works.  We will also conduct a portfolio review of the work of each student, discussing how each work succeeds and how it could be enhanced.
